Finecast succubus model.

I have always left my army pack in my trunk or back seat so I didn't think twice about my new model safely packed away.

By the way this happened at sub 90 degree temperatures. Now I know to keep that resin in a nice cool place.

Can you do me a favour?

If its ruined can you put it in a 40 degree celcius oven? Need to know if fine cast is going to start melting come summer....

Jesus Christ... Don't leave your stuff in a hot, sealed space. It's common sense people.

Also:

Don't leave carbonated beverages in your car when it gets really cold.

Don't wipe your butt with your hand.

Don't eat anything the smelly kid in class brought in for his birthday.

Don't stab yourself with sharp objects.

Don't throw your iPod on the ground.

Anyone need any more nuggets?

If stuff like VHS tapes and CDs melt in a hot car.. of COURSE resin models will melt.

I live in Scotland.
I'm afraid I can't really relate to this topic of "heat"

This is why I do not leave things important to me in the car

NICE SARCASM!!

Wittdooley mate honestly there is more to the world than north america. In this country it regularly gets ABOVE 105F do you understand what this means?

It means that IF this stuff is that sensitive to heat it doesn't matter WHERE we put finecast unless its a fridge its going not going to melt.

Now I'll wait and see what the thermodynamic properties of this stuff is before I start getting worked up about it, I actually rather like the idea of fincast if not the price. but brushing it of as a simple matter of keeping it out of the heat is literally NOT AN OPTION for some people mate.

There are quite a few places here in north america as well as the US that regularly get over 105 as well, so it can get just as bad.

I know, fair enough.

I keep asking this question and all I get is a "friend of mine" or "in a car" type story. it would be very good to get some hard data even if its just on left over sprue.
